In a surprise move, the Islamabad Police apprehended Imaan Mazari, a prominent human rights lawyer, from her home early Sunday. Personnel from Tarnol Police Station reported that Mazari faced charges relating to interference in state affairs, participating in a sit-in, and showing resistance. Shireen Mazari, Imaan’s mother and an ex-PTI leader, recounted the incident, stating that plainclothes officers initially detained their security guard before forcibly entering their home. During this intrusion, she claimed around 20 individuals, including six female officers, searched the premises and confiscated various items, including their phones.

Concurrently, Ali Wazir, an ex-member of the national assembly, was taken into custody by Islamabad Police on similar charges of interfering in state operations.

Just now police women, plainclothes people and r ager types took my daughter away after braking down our front door. Taking away our security cameras and her laptop and cell. We asked who they had xome for and they just dragged Imaan out. They marched all over the house. My…

Human Rights Concerns

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) denounced the manner of Imaan’s arrest and called for her immediate release. In a statement on X, HRCP labelled the police’s actions as “unacceptable,” emphasizing a growing concern over potential state-backed aggression against individuals expressing their freedoms.

HRCP strongly condemns the arrest of lawyer @ImaanZHazir. The manner in which the @ICT_Police broke into her home, allegedly without a warrant, is unacceptable and points to a larger, more worrying pattern…
